Our Take
Our Take
The Edgar Broughton Band's "Speak Down The Wires - The Recordings 1975-1982" (Remastered Edition) is a raucous trip down memory lane, showcasing the band's raw energy and unconventional approach to rock music. From the moment you press play, you're transported back to the heyday of 70s rock, with Broughton's gravelly vocals and blistering guitar riffs taking center stage.
The remastered edition truly does justice to these recordings, bringing new life to classics like "Love in the Rain" and "Hotel Room," while also shining a light on some lesser-known gems from the band's discography. The production is crisp and clear, allowing every note and lyric to shine through with maximum impact.
There's a rebellious spirit running through this album, a sense of defiance and power that is impossible to ignore. Broughton's lyrics are as cutting and incisive as ever, touching on themes of love, politics, and social injustice with a sly wit and a sharp tongue.
In a music landscape dominated by safe, formulaic pop, the Edgar Broughton Band stands out as a bold and daring anomaly. This remastered edition is a must-have for fans of classic rock and anyone looking for a taste of the rebellious spirit of the 70s. So crank up the volume, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let the Edgar Broughton Band speak down the wires to you. You won't regret it.
